I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed and the capital is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue decided to go out together to pay New Year's greetings. This is not only a traditional courtesy, but also a good opportunity for them to enhance their relationships with relatives and friends.

As the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, Chen Jue also had some colleagues in the officialdom who he got along well with.

They first went to the homes of several officials to pay New Year's greetings. Every time they arrived at a place, the officials and their families warmly welcomed them. Chen Jue was handsome, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, which always attracted many people's attention.

When the wives of some officials saw Chen Jue, they couldn't help but show admiration in their eyes, and some even looked for opportunities to joke with Chen Jue.

In an official's residence, a gorgeously dressed lady smiled and said to Chen Jue, "Mr. Chen, you are still as charming as ever today. Do you have any interesting stories to share with us in the new year?"

As he spoke, he blinked gently, with a hint of different emotion in his eyes.

Chen Jia stood aside and saw this scene. Her heart sank slightly, and a trace of displeasure surged into her heart. She frowned slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she still maintained a polite smile. She quietly cast her eyes towards Chen Jue, wanting to see his reaction.

Chen Jue noticed Chen Jia's mood change, and quickly responded to the lady politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. I am very busy with official duties during the New Year, so there is not much fun. I hope everything goes well for you in the new year."

His words were polite yet distant, tactfully rejecting the other party's further intimacy.

Then, they went to several more households, and similar situations happened from time to time. Chen Jia's mood became increasingly depressed. Although she knew that these were just social occasions, she still felt a little awkward.

Her smile became a little forced, and she would occasionally bite her lips unconsciously, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted unconsciously by her.

Finally, they came to Liao Feng's house. The brothers Liao Feng and Liao Heng had always been good friends with Chen Jue, and when they learned that they were coming, they greeted them at the door early.

"Brother Chen, Miss Chen Jia, you are finally here, please come in!" Liao Feng said enthusiastically.

Liao Heng also came forward with a smile: "Happy New Year! Let's have a good gathering today."

They walked into the house together. The house was decorated warmly and festively. However, not long after, Liao Heng's sister Liao E appeared. Liao E was a lively and cheerful girl with delicate features. When she saw Chen Jue, her eyes lit up.

"Chen Shaoqing, long time no see! How was your New Year?" Liao E walked to Chen Jue with a smile, her voice clear and pleasant.

Chen Jue responded politely: "Ms. Liao E, Happy New Year. I had a good New Year. Thank you for your concern."

However, Liao E did not give up. She handed fruits to Chen Jue, asked him about some things in the Imperial Hospital, and kept finding topics to chat with Chen Jue. Her eyes did not hide her affection for Chen Jue.

Chen Jia watched Liao E's warm show of affection towards Chen Jue, and her jealousy grew stronger. Her face gradually became a little gloomy, her brows furrowed, and her eyes occasionally glanced at Liao E and Chen Jue, revealing dissatisfaction and a hint of anxiety.

Her lips were slightly pursed and she held the teacup tightly in her hands, as if she wanted to crush it.

"Ajue, let's go over there and take a look."

Chen Jia finally couldn't help it and spoke, trying to pull Chen Jue away from Liao E. Her voice sounded a little stiff, with a hint of emotion that was hard to detect.

Chen Jue immediately understood what Chen Jia meant. He nodded and said to Liao E, "Miss Liao E, excuse me for a moment."

Then he followed Chen Jia to the other side.

Liao E looked at their departing backs and felt a little lost, but she had no intention of giving up.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue walked to a quiet corner. Chen Jia was obviously a little depressed. She was silent, just standing there quietly, with a hint of loss in her eyes.

"Ajue, what do you think of Miss Liao E?" Chen Jia asked casually. Her voice was very soft, but it was filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, then he understood Chen Jia's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Sister, don't think too much. Miss Liao E is a lively and cheerful person, but I just treat her as a friend and have no other thoughts."

"Ok, I know.

After hearing what Chen Jue said, Chen Jia felt a little better, but still a little unhappy. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, but her thoughts drifted to the interaction between Liao E and Chen Jue just now.

At this time, Liao Feng came over, saw their appearance, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Is it because my sister didn't treat you well enough?"

Chen Jia quickly smiled and said, "No, no, Brother Liao Feng, we are just chatting casually."

She tried to make her smile look natural, but the emotions in her eyes were hard to conceal.

Liao Feng looked at them and seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "My sister is just like that. She is quite lively. Don't mind it. Brother Chen, please don't let my sister down."

Chen Jue said hurriedly: "Brother Liao Feng, please don't joke. Miss Liao E and I are really just ordinary friends. I already have an important person in my heart, and I won't have any other thoughts."

Liao Feng laughed: "Okay, okay, I got it. Just have fun, as long as everyone is happy today."

Although Liao Feng said so, Chen Jia still felt a little uncomfortable. In the following time, Liao E still came to see Chen Jue from time to time, and Chen Jia's face became more and more ugly. She would deliberately turn her head away and not look at them, or find an excuse to leave them, but her eyes would unconsciously pay attention to Chen Jue and Liao E's every move.

In order to make Chen Jia happy, Chen Jue tried to reduce his contact with Liao E and stayed with Chen Jia all the time. He told Chen Jia jokes to make her happy and gave her some snacks from time to time.

"Sister, try this snack, it tastes very good." Chen Jue said gently.

Chen Jia took the snack, took a bite, and felt a little better.

"Well, it's quite delicious." Chen Jia said. But her eyes were still a little vague, and she was still thinking about Liao E.

"Sister, if you like it, we can bring some back when we go back." Chen Jue said.

"No need, it's not a rare thing." Although Chen Jia said this, she still felt a little warm in her heart because of Chen Jue's concern.

"Sister, look at the window paper-cuts over there. They are so beautifully cut." Chen Jue tried to divert Chen Jia's attention.

"Yeah, it's quite beautiful." Chen Jia followed Chen Jue's gaze and her emotions gradually calmed down.

Chen Jue felt relieved when he saw Chen Jia's expression. He knew that Chen Jia cared about him, so she was jealous. In fact, he was very happy that Chen Jia had such a reaction.

After staying at Liao Feng's house for a while, Chen Jia and Chen Jue stood up to say goodbye. Liao Feng and Liao Heng's family warmly saw them off to the door.

"Brother Chen, Miss Chen Jia, please come and visit us often in the future!" Liao Feng said.

"Of course, of course." Chen Jue responded.

Liao E looked at Chen Jue reluctantly: "Chen Shaoqing, see you next time."

Chen Jue nodded, without saying anything more, and left with Chen Jia.

On the way home, Chen Jia was still feeling a little depressed. She said nothing and just walked silently.

"Sister, are you still angry?" Chen Jue asked cautiously.

Chen Jia glanced at him and said, "I'm not angry, I just feel a little annoyed."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, you are the only one in my heart. I don't care about those people. I will always be with you and make you happy every day."

Chen Jia felt warm in her heart after hearing what Chen Jue said, but she still said stubbornly, "Who knows if what you said is true."

Chen Jue smiled helplessly: "Sister, I will prove it to you with my actions. From now on, I will stay away from other girls and only treat you well. You are the most important person in my life, and I will cherish you."

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue's serious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I believe you. But if you dare to lie to me, I won't let you go."

Chen Jue quickly assured: "I will never lie to you."
